TYPE-WRITER ATTACHMENT- Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented an. 1, 1907.

. Application filed December 13, 1905. Serial No. 291,616.

To all whor it. inn/y concern/l Be it knownthat I, ROY W. SooGGIN, acitizen of the United-States'of America, ref

-' siding at Millin ton, in the county of Ken- ]dall and State oIllinois, have invented new and useful Improvements in Typ'e.- Writer"Attachments, of which, the following is .a

specification.

This invention relates to paper-roll-supporting attachments fortype-writers, and is designed to provide a simple, inexpensive,

and effective construction of roll-supporting While the device may beemployed for sup means which is readily applicable to different makes oftype-Writers-and is ada ted to exert the proper tension-upon the rollwhilesu porting the same'in position to prevent t e too rapid feed ofpaper therefrom and is also adapted to permit .of'the reversal of theroll for the rewindin ofan unused portion of the" strip unwound terefrom when occasion reuires.

* porting a roll of paper of any kind to enable a table;4, one of thespring-clasps for holding continuous sheetof paper to be fed to the"platen of the type-writer, it is primarily designed for supportingandfeeding-a contine nous strip of paper divided by perforated or weakeninglines at intervals to form checks or drafts an stubs therefor, so thatthe era tion of making. out a large number of'c ecks and stubs relatingthereto may be conveniently and expeditiously performed.

, In theacc'omipranyin'g drawings, Figure l'is a section fromwritercarriage equipped with my invention,

out to rear through a typethe carriage shown eing of that ty pe-used Rferring to the drawings, the numeral 1 designates the frame ofthecarriage of a typewritin machine ;'2, the platen or feed-roll carriethereby; 3, the paper-guide or feedthe paper pressed against thefeed-roll, and the pressure-rollers, .the construction shown being thatemployed in the carriage 'of the Oliver machine.

I do not limit the invention, however, to

use in connection withthis particular type ofmachine, as itsconstruction is such as to adapt it by slight changes in form orarrangement for app 'catiori to the carriages o a 'therefrom' to exertthe Fig. 2 is a rear- ,num'b'er of the 'type writer machines now incommon use.

' The carriage is provided at its rear and beneath the table3 with across bar or rod 6, to which the improved roll-su porting attachment isa plied. This attac merit comprises a rod or shaft -7,- to which isfixed a roll-core 8, made of wood or' any other suitable material, theends of the shaft bein extemhed beyond the core and provided with knobsor handles 9' to enable it to beconvenie'ntly rotated. The shaft issupported by a wire' frame formed of a'looped piece of wire, the endportions of the wire providing standards 10, bent at their up er freeends to form bearing-eyes 11, in w 'ch the ends of the shaftarejourconvenient passa e of screws or other fasteniangs to secure t eframe to the cross rod or The roll of paper 16 is wound'about the coreSand is supported by the attachment below the upper end of thefeed-table 3, as shown in Fig. 1, and'the pressure-rod 12 is so arrangedasto bear against the rear surface of the roll at the point where thepaper feeds pressure to hold the roll tion. v

y In the present instance I have shown the roll in the form of acontinuous stri divided at intervals by transverse rows 0 erforations orweakening lines 17 to provi e alternately-arranged portions 18 and 19,which may be properly printed to form a series of detachable stubs andchecks. 4

In-operation the free end of the strip of paper is unwoundfrom the rolland extended own over the feed-table 3 and engaged with the feedinglroll 2 of the carria' e, so that the strip. may e continuously fed Iorward in the iproper' tension or om too free rotaoperation of themachine. As the paperis fed forward the stub 18' ofv the first checkwill be fed into position'and may be filled out b type-writingthedesired matter thereon after which the check 19 is fed forward anfilled out through the action of the machine, with the exce tion of theline for the signature of thccas 'er or treasurer, and this operation.is carried out continuously until the desired number of checks have beenpre ared. The filled-out checks and stubs may t en be detached on theperforated lines and signed,

preserving a record of the checks made out andfor posting the same toaregister or ledger. I

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new is- Apaper-roll-holding attachment for type- 1 writers comprising a suporting-frame formed of wire, sald frame elng bent to form a pressure-rodadapted to bear longitudinally upon the roll, spring-arms depending fromthe ends of the pressure-rod, and stand-- ards extending upwardly fromthe lower ends of the arms and arranged in divergent relation thereto,the upper ends of the standards being bent to form bearings for theshaft of the 'roll and the arms and standards bent to produce attachingportions at their points of junction, whereby the frame may be attachedto the carriage of a type-writing machine.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

ROY W. SCOGGIN.
